Beaters tell a story.
Back when one was young, they didn't care about condition. They just wanted the card. You would trade a beeater Mays for 50 nm cards. The reasons for owning a beater are multiple. A) often its a filler in trying to complete a set B) for its own charm C) its a cheap way to own a hard to buy card D) I collect a beater typeset- punch holes, tears, scuffs, markings etc. are all different types. E) They're funny or entertaining D) There is a story to each beater (how did it get that way?) E) I know someone who uses them in a rotisserie game F) A cheap way to build a second set E) other reasons- add your own here I doubt anyone would turn down a beater T206 Wagner.
